Additional Details

The EN25Q16A-104GIP typically operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. The SPI interface includes the standard Chip Select (CS#), Serial Clock (SCK), Serial Data Input (SI), and Serial Data Output (SO) pins. The device supports various SPI modes, including standard SPI, Dual SPI, and Quad SPI, allowing for increased data throughput. The '104' in the part number often refers to the clock frequency (104MHz). The 'GIP' suffix often indicates a specific package type (e.g., WSON, SOIC) and operating temperature range. It is crucial to consult the official datasheet from Eon Silicon Solution for detailed electrical characteristics, timing specifications, command sets, and package information. Proper implementation requires adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding power supply decoupling, signal termination, and soldering techniques. The memory device is designed to withstand a significant number of program/erase cycles, providing long-term data retention and reliability.
